Mass gastrointestinal Illness hits same cruise ship three times in three months
May 8th, 2010
Solid contender for a Titanic Award here: Worst Ship for a Health Clinic or maybe Best Ship for a Weight Loss Clinic
94 passengers got sick (vomiting and diarrhea) on Thursday aboard Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas ship cruising Northern Europe. Before that, hundreds of passengers got sick on Vision of Seas when it was off the coast of Brazil in March. Three mass illnesses aboard the same ship in three months.
Despite Royal Caribbean spokeswoman claiming these three incidents were definitely not related, it seems… well, hard to swallow.

This happens all the time and it’s often more people than this. Google Novovirus :/
Unfortunately it’s a germ that’s incredibly hard to completely remove from a ship. And it’s really, really contagious. It only takes one jerk to help themselves to the salad bar without washing their hands. Suddenly half the ship has the runs (and they’ve all been to the salad bar, before they realised they were sick).
Shit happens.
